I don’t even know what to charge for aligners.


If you’re unsure about pricing… you’ll always undercharge.

I did that for months.

I priced low because I was scared to lose the case.

But that just led to resentment — more work, less profit, no sustainability.

Then I switched to a model that made sense — for me and the patient.

Here’s how I price aligners now:

  • Take your lab fee (let’s say $1,200–$1,800)
  • Multiply it by 3x for your total fee — that builds in profit, chairtime, and refinements
  • Script the value confidently: “This is designed to minimize refinements and get you results faster. If we don't correct this problem now - it will cost you 5x in the future to fix.”

It’s not about being the cheapest.

It’s about being confident, clear, and consistent.

We breakdown pricing and how to frame the value to patients inside our Aligner Blueprint course. If you feel ready to take the first step to more confidence with aligners - check it out.

Most dentists fail to convert existing patients into aligner starts for one simple reason: they do not offer it. They fear the patient will ask, “Why did you not tell me this before?” But the truth is you just did not know how before. You are allowed to grow and improve. Here are 3 simple tactics to convert existing patients into aligner starts: Cracked teeth. If a patient is repeatedly fracturing molars, evaluate their bite. Even distribution of forces through alignment is the long-term fix....

I used to think growth meant taking on harder cases. That is what I saw other dentists doing with implants. They would start with a single tooth, then graduate to multiple teeth, and eventually full arch cases. Complexity stacked, and so did their confidence. So I assumed aligners worked the same way. But it did not take long to realize they don’t. Here is what I noticed. On Instagram, the dentists posting complex aligner cases were not celebrating at the finish line. They were relieved. More...

I once had a patient who kept cracking his molars one by one. At the start I told him it was happening because of his occlusion and that we needed to even out his bite with aligners to distribute the forces. He did not listen. He just kept breaking teeth. Then on the final crown seat appointment he looked at me and said, “I think I want to do aligners.” That experience stuck with me. Most dentists fail to convert existing patients because they simply do not offer it. They feel like if they...
